Tierra del Fuego Shore Excursion

This shore excursion invites you to experience the unique End of the World Train and the stunning Tierra del Fuego National Park, two highlights not to be missed in Ushuaia!

Tour Details

Your adventure begins with a pickup at the Ushuaia port, timed with the arrival of your cruise ship. We'll climb aboard our vehicle for a scenic drive along National Route 3, lasting approximately 20 minutes, until we reach the End of the World Train station, renowned as the southernmost railway in the world. Let the journey commence!

Upon arrival, you'll have the opportunity to embark on a 1-hour journey covering 4.3 mi (7 km). As you travel, enjoy the breathtaking views of the Fuegian forests, the majestic Pipo River, and the slopes of Mount Susana. Along the way, we will delve into the history of the Yámanas, the indigenous people who once thrived in this remote region.

After the train ride concludes, we will return to our vehicle and proceed towards Tierra del Fuego National Park, stopping briefly at the enchanting Macarena waterfalls.

Once we enter the park, we’ll traverse sub-Antarctic zones filled with lush forests stretching over 63,000 hectares (155,676 acres). Here, breathe in the fragrances of ñires and lengas, and observe the distinctive silver moss locally known as Barba de Indio (Indian Beard). Additionally, keep an eye out for the vibrant Farolitos Chinos, orange mushrooms that resemble something from a tale.

Our first destination within Tierra del Fuego will be Lapataia Bay. Here, we'll encounter the renowned End of the World sign, perfect for a memorable photo op before setting out on foot along trails that border the Patagonian fjords. Discover that you are standing at the end of the Panamerican Highway, an incredible route that stretches over 10,563 mi (17,000 km) from Alaska to this remarkable point.

Next, we'll make our way to Laguna Verde, taking in views of Cóndor hill, which serves as the natural border with Chile. Further along, we'll discover Lake Roca, or Lake Acigami in the Yámana dialect, and learn about its glacial origins while enjoying the scenic vistas.

As we approach the end of our adventure, we will visit Ensenada Zaratiegui Bay. Here, we will view the famous End of the World Post Office from afar. From the bay, gaze towards Redonda Island, and if fortune smiles upon us, we may even spot some sea lions in the distance.

Concluding our tour, we will return to the port of Ushuaia, where we will part ways after an enriching 5-hour excursion.
